    IMHO, linuxconf is a piece of ****. :) It has a nasty habit of screwing
things up royally, so I would recommend deleting it ASAP. A _MUCH_ better
tool is WebMin - http://www.webmin.com/ (for YDL select MkLinux DR3 for OS
Type) - it actually works and is great for maintaining an entire system w/o
any Linux knowledge (if that's your style), while providing a useful admin
tool for advanced users.

    Well, I hope this helps.

                            Sincerely,
